Profile: Juan Francisco plays real baseball the way many of us do video-game baseball -- which is to say, he swings basically all the time and with abandon. Even the limited sample that is his major-league career to date bears this out: in his first 181 plate appearances, Francisco has posted a PITCHf/x O-Swing rate of 40.8%, relative to a league-average mark of ca. 28.0% over that stretch. Francisco's 44.6% O-Swing from 2011 (97 PA) would've placed him second only to Vladimir Guerrero (45.2%) among the league's 145 qualified batters. Still, he's hit 38 home runs in 742 Triple-A plate appearances and is entering just his age-25 season, suggesting that there's room for development. He's part of the third-base situation should Scott Rolen miss time and could, theoretically, serve as a lefty-batting complement to Chris Heisey in left field, although Ryan Ludwick complicates things. (Carson Cistulli)

The Quick Opinion: Francisco hasn't demonstrated a particularly disciplined batting approach but has good power and would be part of the solution should (when?) Scott Rolen get(s) injured.

Profile: While Juan Francisco spent the entire season in the majors last year, he worked as just a caddie for the soon-to-be-retired Chipper Jones and didn't get a ton of playing time. With Martin Prado being traded to Arizona, Francisco will be given an opportunity to take the third base job for his own in spring training and in the early parts of the season. However, along with Justin Upton, the Braves acquired Chris Johnson, who will be competing with Francisco for the job at the hot corner. Both players are similar in their skill sets, so the competition should be real and could end up being a platoon situation -- even though Johnson has hit righties better than lefties throughout his short career. Regardless, Francisco has gotten himself in better shape this season and is likely the better defender of the group, which does not say much as Johnson is a noted butcher defensively. That gives Francisco the inside track at more plate appearances as does being the left-handed portion of the potential platoon. With Francisco's tremendous power, a season of 400+ plate appearances could very well lead to 15-20 home runs. While that combined with a poor batting average are not very valuable in standard formats, he could be helpful in NL-only or deeper leagues. (Ben Duronio)

The Quick Opinion: Francisco's competition with Chris Johnson should be monitored by fantasy owners despite the mediocrity of the duo. Francisco has dropped his weight and excelled in winter ball, but he will need to perform well out of the gate to win his the battle at third base and keep hold of it throughout the season -- especially since the position the Braves would most likely try and upgrade via trade would likely be third base.

Profile: Juan Francisco was planned to be part of a third base platoon with Chris Johnson, but 35 games into 2013, he was shipped to Milwaukee to fill in at third for the Brewers while Aramis Ramirez nursed his [insert random appendage]. Francisco hit pretty much as advertised, with big power versus right-handed pitchers coupled with an extremely high strikeout rate. Over the course of a full season, Francisco might hit 25+ home runs, but his contact skills are such that he's not likely to hit above .240 and might just hit .215. His role with the 2014 Brewers isn't ironclad. He might be a left-handed bench bat, he could also wind up spending a significant time at first base should they fail to find an option in the Winter. He has fringe value in fantasy formats with regular playing time, and without it, he's best left to the waiver wire. (Michael Barr)

The Quick Opinion: Juan Francisco is responsible for for one of the more ridiculous moonshots of 2013, but his limited role and batting average make him difficult to roster. Should he fall into regular playing time and should your system eschew things like batting average and on base percentage, he could have value. But that would be an odd system, wouldn't it?

Profile: As of this writing, Juan Francisco is jobless. The Red Sox picked him up off of waivers from the Blue Jays, then non-tendered him. Francisco is something less than impressive defensively at either infield corner. His walk rate is average at best, and his contact rate is nearly Mark Reynolds-esque. Francisco has shown almost no ability to hit southpaws. What Juan Francisco can do is hit massive home runs off of righties at an impressive clip. In half a season of playing time, he can easily hit 15 home runs. Of course, the entertainment factor of moonshots will not help you outside of some sort of weird (and AWESOME) fantasy leagues, and Francisco won't really help you in any other category -- even a .240 batting average would be a bit of a miracle given his massive strikeout rate and fly ball tendencies. Most importantly, he does not have a job yet. However, keep an eye out if he latches on with a team. It probably will not be a full-time role. But he should qualify at both first and third, and a platoon role will help his rate stats from killing your team's average while he also puts up about 15 home runs. If he gets a job, Francisco could be a nice cheap or low-end option in the deepest of leagues. (Matt Klaassen)

The Quick Opinion: Juan Francisco's skills: hitting home runs off of righties. End of list. Not a player to bank on even after he latches on to a team, but anyone who can hit 15 home runs in 300 plate appearances can help if he slips under the radar in the late rounds.
